The Peli 1022 Pick n Pluck™ foam insert is designed for users of Peli 1020 Micro Cases who need to securely protect sensitive equipment.

FAQs
What is the purpose of Pick n Pluck™ foam?
Pick n Pluck™ foam is designed to be customized by removing pre-scored cubes to create a precise, protective fit for your equipment within a case.
Can I use this foam with any Peli case?
No, the Peli 1022 foam insert is specifically designed for the Peli 1020 Micro Case only.
How much foam should I leave around my equipment?
For optimal protection, it is recommended to keep at least one inch (2.54 cm) of foam between your equipment and the interior walls of the case.
What happens if I remove too many foam cubes?
If too many cubes are removed, your equipment might not be sufficiently protected. You can try to fill minor gaps with unused foam pieces, but significant over-removal may compromise protection.
Is the foam waterproof?
The foam itself is not waterproof, but it works in conjunction with the Peli 1020 case, which is designed to be watertight and dustproof when closed properly.
Can I put the removed foam cubes back?
Once the foam cubes are removed, they cannot be reinserted to form the original solid sheet. However, smaller pieces can sometimes be used to fill gaps.
Does this foam protect against extreme temperatures?
While the foam provides cushioning, it does not offer thermal insulation. The Peli 1020 case offers protection from the elements, but the foam's primary role is impact and vibration absorption.
Troubleshooting
Foam cubes are difficult to remove.
Use a small, blunt tool like a pen cap or a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the cubes loose from the base. Be patient to avoid tearing the surrounding foam.
Item still has too much movement after customization.
You may need to remove additional foam cubes to create a tighter fit, or consider using smaller foam pieces to fill any remaining gaps. Ensure the 1-inch foam buffer is maintained.
Foam doesn't seem to fit the Peli 1020 case correctly.
Verify that you are using the Peli 1022 foam insert, as it is specifically designed for the Peli 1020 case. Ensure the foam is correctly seated within the case.
